<h2>The rich-text editor</h2>
<p>In certain tools, you can control the appearance of your text using
the rich-text editor, sometimes called a WYSIWYG (What You
See Is What You Get) editor. The rich-text toolbar has icons for editing
and formatting your text.</p>

<div class="inlineimage image"><img class="noborder" src="image/a036a.png" alt="The rich-text toolbar" /></div>

  
<p><strong>Note:</strong> Pasting text into the <a href="content.hlp?docId=arbr">rich-text editor</a>
should preserve most formatting, but some types of formatting, such as
colored text, may need to be added manually in the editor after pasting.
</p>


<p>The rich-text editor is based on an open-source application called
CKEditor. To see what each icon in the toolbar does, refer to the
 <a href="http://docs.cksource.com/CKEditor_3.x/Users_Guide/Quick_Reference" target="new">CKEditor
Users Guide Quick Reference</a>.</p>



<h3>Browser considerations</h3>

<p>To ensure that the rich-text editor appears and functions properly, use
an up-to-date browser; see <a href="content.hlp?docId=asxg">Which browser should I use?</a></p>


<p>To use spellcheck in Internet Explorer, you must first download and install the ieSpell extension from the <a href="http://www.iespell.com/download.php" target="new">ieSpell download page</a>.</p>
